About Us

My name is Maxime Bernard . I've been playing tennis and padel for a few years now. Like many, I've spent hours on the courts, hitting balls, changing strings, adjusting my rackets. And then there was always that little detail that we often forget: the overgrip.

I've tried dozens. Too slippery, too sticky, not comfortable enough, they wear out after two matches… Eventually, I realized that this small piece of material between my hand and my racket made all the difference. The feel, the relaxation, the precision, the fatigue… it all starts there.

So I decided to create Gripium .

Not just another brand for show, but a real answer to a real question: how to help each player find the overgrip that truly suits them?

Our mission

We're not just selling an accessory. We're selling a fit. A balance. A detail that changes everything. The only thing between your hand and the racket. Whether you sweat a lot, are looking for grip or comfort, play once a month or are in tournaments every weekend, you deserve an overgrip made just for you.

At Gripium, each model has been designed for a specific hand type, a specific feel, a specific player. We've worked on the materials, the thicknesses, the overall feel. We've kept it simple. But precise. The goal is that you never have to think about your grip again. Because it's perfect. Because it does the job. Because you can just play.

Made by players, for players

I'm just a passionate guy who got fed up with not finding what he was looking for. And if I can save you the hassle of changing your overgrip every other day or losing a match because your racket slips out of your hand, then Gripium is for you.

Gripium is a small brand, but with high standards. And above all, with a real mission: to restore the overgrip to its rightful place as a true tool for performance, comfort, and health.
